This exhibition is inspired by one of China's four great classical novels, Journey to the West, and focuses on Chinese contemporary art.
The exhibition showcases diverse artistic forms such as calligraphy, paper-cutting, shadow puppetry and traditional Chinese painting to create an immersive experience for the audience. The exhibition not only showcases Chinese contemporary art but also serves as an opportunity for cultural dialogue between the East and the West.
Workshops on how to do Chinese calligraphy and painting will be run throughout the exhibition. More information will be available soon.
